Once you are discharged, you will be followed closely by your physician and perhaps be seen regularly in our outpatient clinic for wound care, exercise and scar management. This clinic is located on the same floor as the burn center, in the far southwest corner.
Feel free to call your physician, nurse, physical or occupational therapist or any of the other team members with any questions you have after returning home. They will be more than happy to help you. Remember, after discharge the patient and family are still very important to the burn center staff. Please keep us posted of your progress with letters and pictures, and drop by and visit.
Once a week at a pre-scheduled time, a patient/family care conference is held for patients and/or families who have special needs or concerns. Family members are invited to attend. Please discuss this with your nurse or social worker.
